Harawira Plays Arrogance

Hone Harawira is remaining defiant over his Parties Senior Officials wishes for him to become an Independent MP:

Hitting out at the Parties Co-Leaders Hone saying that they are acting like "Mainstream" and not as Maori Leaders: Well I am sorry Hone when you formed the Maori Party and entered into Parliament you kind of took that on board to:

Hone Harawira does not wish to become an Independent and is sighting strong support from his electorate: Commentators including former MP and Radio Host Willie Jackson, saying this could be the start of the end for the Maori Party:

I doubt that:

I no doubt believe that Hone will keep his seat if a by election were forced, and at the next few General Elections, until a credible Maori Party or Labour Candidate were to stand there:

But this is not the beginning of the end, but the start of a new journey: New Horizons for the Maori Party: Many doubt that the Party will kick him out but they will:

Why?

At the Maori Parties recent AGM, Pita Sharples laid out a plan for the Maori Party to have 12 (?) seats by 2017 - this means they have to increase their party vote, and try and claim some General seats: Mr Harawira is isolating the very votes the Maori Party needs to reach their ambitious target:

It also goes agaisnt Maori Party Tikanga of being opena and inclusive:

It may damage the party slightly in the short term, but the party will heal quickly and move forward, many will welcome the decision as it shows leadership, and has obviously woken Mr Harawira up and says, its great your motivated and energetic towards your cause and beliefs, but enough is enough there is a line and you have crossed it:

Mr Harawira was given every opportunity to make a mense, but to say I apolagise for my langugage but not the message, then to say sorry and hit out at Phil Goff: He was dragging the debate away from what it was: And to now be so arrogant and not know why he is being asked to leave this guy is a joke:

He has brainwashed a small minority of Maori to think like this, its angry and hurtful: Maori need to move on and stop feeling sorry for themselves: This economic recession should have taught us alot about our selves and the dynamics of the world: Mr Harawira should be ashamed of his actions:

He may be able to become a good Independent MP I have no doubt in that but nobody should be afraid of him forming a movement, as he can only target a certain small minority: Largely most Maori are looking forwards together: Hone would have to promote a campaign of hate to get anywhere beyond Te Tai Tokerau:

When a child is acting out Parents tend to sort out the situation, when a child is acting out for something, most parents dont give them the thing they want until they calm down and behave: Most Maori have learnt this: They way to get to the resources we want is to behave: We all get upset when Maori lose out such as Maori Seats on council recently, but true Maori Leaders now have to look and go right the way forward is not a haka and jumping up and down, its about using the system to our advantage:

Mr Harawira is more like a rock star, using the system to promote his radical agenda, and to look cool in front of the kids: Where his other caucus colleagues are similar in their approach, they get kudos and we think they are cool, becasue they are making major steps and strides, to promote Maori and develop Maori using the system and promoting good policy.
